they are my maps of the bird path
they are all that i know to be true
dream with one eye open
gaze up at the stars at night

l saw lovers I left behind
I saw promises I didn't keep
I saw all that was offered to me that I could not accept
I saw letters I wished for but never received
I saw all that could have been, but never will be

the clicks of the sand
the silhouette of the eland

floating on the Ganges
Sailing on the Nile

I want to join the dance that has no steps

What matters is what is written in the heart
                   GOD,
                          FORGIVE ME
